I’m looking for a home! I’ve been living at the clinic for months and learning some manners, but I need a family to love and space to run.

Name: Chase

Age: 5.5 years (but don’t tell me I’m not still a puppy!)

Breed: you tell me. Maybe husky and border collie? Maybe some Malinois thrown in? I have a long nose, a curly tail, and medium coat. I’m 60 pounds or thereabouts.

Favorite things: playing keep away, trying to escape (only to run back to the front door as soon as you give up catching me), meeting new people and animals. I’m easygoing with smaller dogs and cats but I come on really strong with big dogs because I’m SO EXCITED TO PLAY!! If a dog growls at me I don’t get too mad because, hey, I know I’m a lot.

Least favorite things: being held down for anything. I have earned the “worst dog for blood draws” award for 2 years running. I’m not a fan of closed doors, either, and I’m pretty good at opening them.

Bad habits: I will steal your sandwich when your back is turned and not even feel bad about it.

Best characteristic: I really want to be a good dog. And I’m gentle with small dogs and cats. I love kids, too, but bigger kids are better because I won’t accidentally knock them over.

Pretty please, contact the front desk if you would like to meet me! I can’t promise I won’t jump on you with excitement, but I’m doing my best to learn.

Smooches,
Chase

We are seeing an uptick in flea infestations probably due to the recent monsoon rains. The best way to treat and prevent fleas is with a long acting preventative such as Bravecto. Let us know if you want to avoid fleas on your pets and in your home!
